no 4x114.3 is correct a 3rd gen has 5 studs and 114.3mm

the 4x114.3 stud pattern is common with many of the rwd nissans btw (usefull to know)

Awesome thats good news.  Someone told me the series 3 had a better stud pattern.  Cheers for that.

[MikeLMR]

yes they did, the series 1 and 2 were 4x110mm they also got better brakes as standard and subtly different suspension all round.

the series one and two\'s should be 4x110mm and around 25mm offset and the series 3 are 4x114.3  and about 40mm offset.

The thing to watch with wheels is the front strut clearance. I have a set of 15x7\'s on my series 3 with 38mm offset and the clearance to the strut can be measured with a fag paper its that close !

I prefer the lower offset on the older cars though as the 40mm offset tends to make any wheels look a bit naff and modern looking

Do they come with a factory LSD?  **** that would be such a bonus.

[MikeLMR]

no, not in the UK. But the GSL-SE uses the same rear end in states and they did.

(added some more waffle to my post above too)
